= example of Free Culture Media: freecultural radio in Berlin

Description

Magnus Lawrie:

"Such collaborative, democratic forms are a critical aspect of the envisaged peer-to-peer future. RebootFM is an established cultural radio station op- erating in Berlin, Germany. Since June 2010, 85 participating artists have released over 500 self-produced radio programmes. The station claims nearly 3000 followers on Facebook and Twitter and its programmes are also sourced as content for a number of commercial radio stations. RebootFM’s website states,

”The non-commercial frequency 88.4 MHz, gives different radio groups in Berlin the possibility to produce independent, non-commercial radio, longer and more continuously than was previously the case...new formats and meth- ods will be developed around connecting the variety of the city’s creative production to a wider and more international listener group” (RebootFM 2011)."
